Holding back the years.........

nice to see this fine example secured for a bit longer, ]

 

Be disappointing if its only secured for a bit

 

Lot of time now gone in to this one, what with the halo 10 years ago and now it's new hair cut

The surrounding canopies were reduced to create a halo around the target pollard.

I think I might have had a pulley in that fell and had a controlled drop rather than slap them lumps down over roots. Only because of the vet close by and the size of the chunks.

 

feel free to tell me to mind my own!

Perhaps with site perspective you may have seen it differently.

 

 

Photos can be 'very' deceptive Tony

mewp in there must be quite a production...pole tools would not reach? I do my best rip cuts with a pole saw.

Pole tears rock

But doesn't always offer reach or control.

Lower crown is critical to not damage.

 

 

A 'Tracked' platform reaches most parts that wise and cautious arbs think twice about

in one of Europe's most sensitive sites, IMO this is a little "heavy" it appears to have made a nice hole in the ground and this can be clearly seen, so it was not even a flat landing.

 

wideangle lens or not:001_rolleyes:

Tony, what on earth are you on about???

 

Were you there? did you measure the distance from pollard to felled section after we left the site?

 

Did you excavate the rooting environment to determine that roots were actually in the drop zone?

 

 

The specification was for large sections to be left on the ground for the benefit of ecological communities, as opposed to small sections that could be moved around.

 

 

 

If you have a beef with the city's stewardship, I suggest you make a complaint to the correct channels

 

 

Or perhaps get yourself a job there

Falling logs seems like a natural enough event, a slight modification to the TSSE, possibly a beneficial component of TSSM.

 

Speaking of heavy, that mewp looks very light on its feet. I would love to take a ride in one someday!

about 3000 kg (about 6,600 lbs)

23 m working height & 11 m outreach

 

Good machine for that particular environment

 

Though it doesn't substitute getting up close and personal with the old ents
